Abstract
Abdul Haque Ibn Ghalib Ibn Abdur Rahman AlGarnati was the Spanish Muslim scholar and interpreter of the Holy Qur’an and the hadeeth. Renowned in the Muslim world as Ibn Atiyyah Al-Andalusi, Ibn Atiyyah initially studied under his father in Spain. He was a meticulous scholar and exegete of the Holy Qur’an. He studied in all fields like a polymath as he believed that this would give him a better understanding of the hadeeth, fiqh and the Holy Qur’an. He also traveled to all centers and cities in Islamic Spain to collecting proper Islamic knowledge. He wrote poetry as well. But his main and voluminous work is an exegetic analysis of, and commentary on, the Holy Qur’an. It’s entitled AlMuharrar Al-Wajeez Fi Tafsiril Kitabil Aziz. This article discusses the life of Ibn Atiyyah and his opinion on uloomul Qur’an.
